To quote from a reader’s letter to the editor: “Keep up your rantings, ravings and diatribes. I like it. A publication with balls and an editor to scratch ’em. Only radicals (even if they’re marxist-oriented cassette-mongers) make a difference.”
Another letter: “If I haven’t advertised in your magazine it’s because I think you’re not interested in even basic standards of writing and/or production. I don’t owe you a living.”
Sound Choice has reviews of independently produced cassettes and records in a wide range of genres from Vassar Clements thru’ Creedence Clearwater Revival to Controlled Bleeding.
(Warning: their publication schedule is pretty erratic.)
